Twitter's recent suspensions

I work for a project that is analyzing twitter's suspension practices. We have noticed some very strange things recently. Many of you seem to think controlling follow/followback churn is the most important thing in preventing suspensions but it seems the problem is much deeper than that. I can't give too many details about our practices but here is what can be said:

For every 100 accounts we create, about 90 will be suspended in less than 12 hours

Each account is created with its own IP address, email address, picture, unique description and background picture

Each account follows a completely different set of followers and will follow less than 50 people to start

Each account tweets at least one or two things without a link, offer, or other "spammy" content

Each account has its own location, timezone & browser signature

Some accounts will respond to tweets

As of recent, 90% of our accounts get suspended. A few months ago it was down to 10% suspensions and the accounts would last a few weeks. Either Twitter has picked up on some kind of pattern, or they are simply suspending now & asking questions later. Has anyone else seen similar results?

Are you using same URL across your accounts in the bio
Are your proxies virgin
Are the profile photos named differently
Are your accounts email verified ( this is not a big factor IMHO )
Does your tweet contain links/@mentions/@replies ( even if there is one tweet )

You're clearly doing something wrong. Think about it, if you were doing everything right, then you would appear to be no different from a natural user. Now ask yourself how many natural users you think get banned?

Users don't have a URL. Do you think that is a big factor in this? We considered using some kind of junk service like tumblr or flickr, maybe even pinterest but I'm not sure what we're going to do yet.

Profile pictures are named differently.
Accounts are verified
Tweets don't contain links or mentions for the first round of tweets.
We follow less than 100 when the account is created.

This isn't rocket science, you can work everything out with logic.

Thanks for the insight. You're right. Maybe I should have thought of these things before asking.

don't follow 100 people when you verified your account
when twitter suspend your account, log in to your account and click on the url they provide that why they suspend your accounts ( do simple task) and your account backs
thats happened to me

Don't think twitter emplyees need to make posts on BHW to stop spamming - they can't stop it without banning actual users.
People are successful on twitter coz they can manage thousands of accounts do things naturally.
